Decarabia

Decarabia appears as an entry in goetic catalogues derived from the Ars Goetia / Lesser Key of Solomon and related lists of spirits (the roster of some 69–72 named entities). The manuscript tradition contains variant spellings (Decarabia, Carabia) and differing attributions of rank and title across editions (e.g., differences between the Lesser Key of Solomon and the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum). The supplied sources do not record a narrative origin or etymology for the name; instead the figure functions within the corpus as one numbered intelligenced to be addressed in ritual.

Primary goetic manuscripts and canonical summaries provided in the sources give little consistent corporeal description for Decarabia; the grimoire-context entries emphasize function and rank rather than a fixed iconography. Later occult commentaries and modern popular-culture adaptations supply varied visualizations — for example some fandom/game sources describe a pentagram-star form or a man on request — but these are derivative reinterpretations rather than direct quotations of original ritual texts. Because manuscript traditions differ and modern treatments diverge, appearance is variable across sources.

Across the supplied sources Decarabia is repeatedly credited with practical, specialist knowledge — notably described as knowing the virtues of all herbs and precious stones — placing him in the common goetic pattern of spirits who provide usable knowledge to petitioners. Many modern summaries also describe him as commanding thirty legions and give him the title of (Great) Marquis; manuscript variants and alternative catalogs differ on title and exact attributions, so such rank is not uniform across all editions. Beyond being solicited for knowledge and services during evocation, the provided materials do not document independent mythic narratives of activity.
